I bought a new pair of Gingher pinking shears and had the same thing happen so I sent them off to Gingher to sharpen. It took them *3 tries* to sharpen them to my satisfaction. I think they're testing them on wigan or muslin or something slightly crisp. I ended up sending a piece of the silk charmeuse I was trying to pink and told them I needed them to pink it. What a pain. I actually kind of hate the Gingher pinking shears but since they're the ONLY people who sharpen pinking shears, I feel like I have to use them, although I'm beginning to think buying a new pair of Fiskars on sale every time my pinking shears get dull might be much less of a hassle (though wasteful).
